Pick your head up, son

Your tears are not for everyone

It's ok to be upset but remember to remain

Composed, but if you must

Just let it out in private

Let it out to the one you love

But you don't need to show the world

Show your inner circle that you are human too

To the world be brave and strong

Try to see the best

When the storm rolls in

With us you'll always win

It's ok to cry your eyes out

And it's ok to be dismayed

It's ok to be joyous

And ok to be yourself

Your feelings have their worth

But not everyone deserves them

So pick your head up son

And with pride, face everyone
